Kia Ora Digital is proud to have been recognised as the Best Global Startup Agency at the Global Search Awards 2024.
We won the same category at the APAC Search Awards earlier this year, and now we’re stoked to have won the double gold!
Directors Ben McIntyre and Simon Small were there to accept the award in Krakow, Poland, on behalf of the entire Kia Ora Digital team. What a night! 🎉
As Simon says, ‘First time up for a Global Search Award. It’s a milestone for the company and for us personally. Who would have thought when (Ben and I) first met in Queenstown, New Zealand, about 4 years ago that we would be here today.’
This wouldn’t be possible without the hard work, dedication, and support of our talented team and incredible clients. We’d also like to thank the Global Search Awards and Don’t Panic Events for this great opportunity to showcase what we do.
Judge’s Comments
Kia Ora Digital is thrilled to have been recognised for our 4 month Sprint Methodology and world-first Revenue Forecast technology, which helps our clients achieve 10x—50x ROI without needing to rely on paid ads.
The judges commented:
‘Kia Ora Digital’s team has demonstrated exceptional planning, execution, and results with their innovative strategies and tools.
Their 4-month sprint methodology and Revenue Forecasting tool have revolutionised SEO, delivering rapid and sustainable growth for their clients. The team’s impressive growth and high client retention rate showcase their effectiveness and commitment to driving substantial business impact.’
Our Journey as a Global Start-up
It’s been a huge year, with even bigger things ahead. We expanded into the U.K., EMEA, Brazil and India in June, and we’ve also just launched in the United States. What sets us apart is our determination to do SEO differently and provide a point of difference to our clients.
We’re proud to be one of the fastest-growing Organic Search & RevOps agencies in the world. From our humble beginnings in New Zealand and Australia, we’ve come a long way, but we’re also just getting started.

Our Revenue Forecast technology
Since rolling out our Revenue Forecast tool earlier this year, we’ve been helping eCommerce stores and SaaS companies transform the way they do business online.
Our world-first Revenue Forecast shows you how to generate the most revenue for your business. By uncovering advanced data insights, our Revenue Forecast allows you to tap into hidden revenue opportunities online.
Imagine knowing how much extra revenue you could be making by ranking for the most lucrative keywords. That’s why we call it the Crystal Ball of SEO! Armed with this knowledge, businesses can then adapt their strategies for maximum results. It gives businesses a competitive edge by leveraging real business data and analytics to make informed decisions.
While our Revenue Forecast technology is available exclusively to Kia Ora Digital clients, we have plans to release it to the wider public once a fully-developed platform is complete and perfected.
Simon says, ‘Being in Krakow for the Global Search Awards allowed us to do some “market testing” and left us feeling that when we release what we are working on, it’s going to be a must-have for the industry.
‘Every agency we spoke to is excited to get their hands on our technology. We’re road-testing what will be a best-seller. And we’re so early in the cycle, yet so ahead of the market. That’s what being in Krakow taught us.’Stay tuned for details on the release of our Revenue Forecast platform!

We Do SEO Differently
From the start, we’ve been dedicated to doing SEO differently with our unique 4 month sprint methodology, which aims to accelerate SEO success.
Unlike traditional SEO approaches that often take 6-12 months to deliver results, our 4 month sprint methodology sets businesses on a guaranteed path to organic success within a short timeframe.
In New Zealand, we helped a client to double their revenue in just one year, all through organic traffic. Now, as we enter the U.K. and the U.S., we’re excited to help more businesses discover the power of organic revenue.
And the best part? It’s scalable. As your business grows, so does your organic revenue. Find out just how much extra revenue you could be making. Ask us for your tailored Revenue Forecast today.

Going Global
When we first launched Kia Ora Digital two years ago, our mission was simple: to help businesses grow through the power of SEO.
In New Zealand, we quickly saw the impact. Companies that were struggling to be seen online suddenly found themselves at the top of search results. And with that visibility came a surge in organic revenue.
As we expanded into Australia, the challenge was bigger, but so were the rewards. We refined our strategies, learned the nuances of different markets, and adapted. From there, we’ve taken those strategies into the U.K. and now the U.S.
As official Shopify Experts and Partners, we specialise in working with eCommerce stores to maximise their revenue and fuel their online growth through the power of organic search. Through our international SEO services, we help businesses expand into new territories and establish themselves on the global stage.
Fire Up Your Performance Online today
It’s been a huge year, and we’re excited to see where this next chapter will take us.
With an experienced team of SEO experts, we’re here to help SaaS and eCommerce businesses to hit the ground running and leave the competition for dust.
